Internships for first-year students

In order to encourage the first year college students across the country to pursue an internship and build their career early on in life the internships and trainings platform, Internshala,  has launched 'Internships for 1st Year Students' intiative. Through this campaign, first year students will be provided internships matching their skill-sets in order to prepare them for future jobs. 

The campaign which began on September 22, 2018 also highlights the importance of earning a stipend through internships right from the first year of college. 

Students can apply to virtual or work from home internships in profiles like Marketing, Content Marketing, Business Development, and other similar profiles. Unlike other internships which require specific skill sets, the internships for first year college students require basic communication and writing skills.
